June 24- July 1, 2024

Saturn stations retrograde this week. It may feel like all work is coming to a halt in some way, but don’t be completely fooled, now it’s time to go over the work you’ve already done. Have you learned the lessons? Have you taken responsibility? This may all depend on how you’ve been feeling about the Saturn lessons. For me, if I were made to go back over some Algebra equations another time, I’d want to curl up and hide under the covers. If it were to go back over my favorite myths, I’d curl under some covers too, but with a decidedly different mien.

There’s also a few transits with Mercury so we can expect an uptick in communications. With Saturn going RX this week as well, maybe we need to notice the details in all these communications. Focus on what’s important. Boundaries can help when negotiating any contracts, etc.

Venus in Cancer square N.Node in Aries at 11 degrees  Did Mercury offer any heads up when it squared the N.Node on the 22nd? Are you still puzzled by the messages? How is affecting how you relate to others? Cancer is a water sign and Aries is fire. Water and fire can work together but it’s like boiling a pot of water, the temperature can’t be too high, or the water boils over. The temperature can’t be too low, or it’ll never warm up. How can you make something simmer?

Mercury in Cancer Trine Saturn in Pisces at 19 degrees- Back on June 12th, Mercury squared Saturn in Pisces from the sign of Gemini. Now it’s getting a trine. What can you take advantage of here? Where once there was stress now there is a sense of ease, but you still have to put some effort into it. Can you be open to learning something new? Can you let a plan evolve over time? One that may be directed by intuition and/or feelings? Perhaps you connect with someone who has some sage advice or wisdom that helps your project get off the ground? With so much water we know there’s a lot of emotions and feelings. So be gentle with yourself and show compassion for yourself and others.

Mercury in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries at 23 degrees- Mercury had a sextile with Chiron on June 13th. Now it’s squaring. Some situations are coming to a head. What does your mind tell you? What does your body tell you? Even though it’s stressful, there’s an opportunity for catharsis. “In choosing security over growth, we outrage the soul, and the soul, outraged, manifests in symptoms–depression, anxiety disorders, envy, and jealousy of others, dependencies, and so many more.” -James Hollis. 

Follow your gut, listen to your intuition, take some time alone to sit with any hurtful sentiments. Are these your opinions? Someone else’s? Do they resonate? If so, what do you want to do about it? If not, what do you want to do about it?

June 29

Venus in Cancer sextile Mars in Taurus at 14 degrees- Let’s slow down and spend time with loved ones. Have an intimate party for two or a small group together. You may feel a little vulnerable so want to connect with your closest friends. Do a potluck so you don’t have all the stress of hosting. If you can spend time by the water, do. Collaborate and connect. Meet people halfway. 

Saturn stations to go retrograde in Pisces at 19 degrees- Saturn stations to go retrograde, so from our perspective on Earth it looks like the planet is going backwards. Retrogrades offer a chance to slow down and take in some information or experiences that were coming in too quickly to process. Re-work, reconsider, revise, review, renegotiate, reflect, reframe, etc. What have you signed up for recently that may be taking up more time than you thought it would? Is this your responsibility ? Do you need to suss out who is in charge of what? Is this a commitment you can maintain? What needs adjusting or shifting? We can expect some blockages or some restrictions in our Pisces house. What is your response to this? 

Mercury in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus at 25 degrees- Pay attention to your thoughts and communications. Are we clinging to something that is outdated? Do we need to innovate? Is there some new technology that could help us pull focus if we’ve been feeling scattered? Try something new. Be open to new inspiration.

**My intention with these weekly astrology reports is something like looking at a weather app. If you know it will rain, you’ll bring an umbrella. Awareness can help us navigate the Astro “weather” too. I  hope to share this information in an easily digestible way (not too much jargon).  Please read this information knowing that these energies can appear in higher or lower forms.
